Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.
Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in McLean, VA, Iridium Communications Inc is a satellite communications company that offers dedicated commercial global voice and data communications services to both businesses and governments in the U.S. as well as globally. It also works with non-governmental organizations.
IRDM is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, with a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of B. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 22.2X for the current fiscal year compared to the Satellite and Communication industry's P/E of 22.2X. Additionally, IRDM has a PEG Ratio of 0.8 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 7.7X. Value investors should also note IRDM's Price/Sales ratio of 2.8X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, two analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for IRDM, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.05 to $0.97 per share. IRDM also holds an average earnings surprise of 40.9%.
With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding IRDM to their portfolios.
